Shine Bright and Carousel {Avery Elle}

Hello friends!

Happy Fri-yay!  I hope you had a great week and looking forward to a fun weekend ahead!  I am on the Avery Elle blog today with a card featuring the Shine Bright stamp set.  No stamp collection is complete without a lighthouse stamp set- it's such a timeless icon and the perfect image for so many sentiments.

I placed my lighthouse atop a shoreline created with the Rocky Shores Elle-ments die. The lighthouse was colored using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers.  I created the background by inking a panel of Distress Specialty Stamping Paper with Distress Oxide ink in Fossilized Amber and Broken China and Regular Distress Ink with Milled Lavender and Seedless Preserve. 

For the ocean, I stamped the waves in Avery Elle's white pigment ink over the Distress Oxide Broken China and blended out the edges a bit.  After all the inking was complete, I masked off the ocean and spritzed the panel with water to create the starry looking sky. 

Supplies: 

Shine Bright Clear Stamps

Dies: Shine Bright Elle-ments

Dies: Rocky Shores Elle-ments

Kraft Pigment Ink Pad

Pure White Pigment Ink Pad

Last week,  Jamie shared this card I made using the cutie cute Carousel stamp set. With Easter approaching, I decided to use the Bunny image from the set.

I colored the bunny with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and placed him on another inky background.  This one was created by blending Distress Inks in Broken China and Shaded Lilac. 

I added a few finishing touches with the stars and banner included in the stamp set.  I die cut the inked panel with the Wonky Stitches Elle-ments die and added a cloudy background using the Picket Fences Elle-ments die.
